They do science and music and Spanish with awesome teachers, and we get lots of communication from the class. We love the routines and the social environment the kids get to enjoy that keeps them on a great track academically. We would recommend this school to anyone!

There are many highlights and advantages to PNA. The downside is there seems to be a lack of communication and transparency. Each teacher seems to set their own curriculum and classroom standards. Academics could be more challenging. No hot lunch except for pizza Monday's. Tuition is one of, if not the highest in anchorage. Overall is suits our needs as we are only here two years but we will definitely add some tutoring this summer to make sure our kids don't fall behind the lower 48's standards.

I pulled into the East High School driveway to assess the situation and change to a spare tire.

So thankful for the helpful attitude and good work of the maintenance staff at that location. Dan S.

I visited East High as a coach for football…read more I can't say much about the inside other than to say the locker rooms were clean. The parking lots and entrances are the main focus of this post. There are lots of entrances, but not ease of movement between them. If you're going to a football game, you'll want to enter from Bragaw street. There are two parking lots. If you're coming from Northern lights you'll want to turn right on the road past the back edge of the school nearly to the housing development. I think they should install signage directing people to try field (and other locations). I spent quite a bit of time entering parking lots only to exit them because they weren't connected.

**How an Ohio Citizen Rizzed Me: An Essay**…read more I never thought I would become a firsthand witness to the legendary phenomenon known as *Ohio rizz*. Like many, I believed the jokes--Ohio as a mythical place where strange confidence spawns out of cornfields and gas stations. Yet one ordinary day, an Ohio citizen entered my life and absolutely rizzed me, changing my perspective forever. At first, there was nothing remarkable about him. He didn't arrive on a tractor or announce his Midwestern origins with a monologue about the Buckeyes. Instead, he carried himself with a calm, almost confusing confidence. This was the first sign of Ohio rizz: subtlety. While others try too hard, the Ohio citizen lets silence do some of the talking. He spoke like he already knew he belonged in the conversation, which immediately caught my attention. The second stage of being rizzed was the humor. Ohio humor is not loud or flashy; it sneaks up on you. One moment you're having a normal conversation, and the next you're laughing way harder than expected. His jokes were dry, oddly specific, and delivered with perfect timing. It felt less like he was trying to impress me and more like he was simply being himself--an energy that is dangerously effective. What truly sealed my fate was the unexpected sincerity. Ohio rizz thrives on authenticity. He listened--*actually* listened--and responded in a way that made me feel like my words mattered. In a world full of performative charm, this felt rare. The Ohio citizen didn't rush the moment or force a vibe. He let the connection marinate, like a slow Midwest sunset over a parking lot. By the end of the interaction, I realized what had happened. I had been rizzed--not loudly, not aggressively, but efficiently. Ohio rizz does not announce itself; it simply occurs, leaving you slightly confused, oddly impressed, and questioning your previous assumptions. In conclusion, being rizzed by an Ohio citizen is a quiet yet powerful experience. It blends confidence, humor, and sincerity into a surprisingly effective form of charm. I may never fully understand Ohio, but one thing is certain: the rizz is real, and I was not prepared.

I agree with David. I'm literally a 7th grader at Mears right now. I haven't heard of anyone being…read morebullied, but if there are kids getting bullied, its middle school, tell a teacher, parent or even Ms. Brenda or someone. Haven't heard of a rasicm problem either. All of my teachers have been pretty caring and kind. My favorite though, is Mrs.Bookman. Shes just the best, shes someone to talk to, me and my best friend have gone to her room before because we needed to talk to her about something, or even for food or to sit in her room at lunch. Thanks byeeeee
